Anchoring Equitable Development: Anchor Institute-Led Models of Housing and Community Development to Strengthen Institutions and Communities

In April 2014, a convening of national housing equity experts was hosted in Jacksonville, Florida by the Jessie Ball duPont Fund. The convening's purpose was to gain insight from national stakeholders on affordable housing and equitable development challenges and opportunities in Jacksonville. From this two-day engagement, a number of major challenges and opportunities facing Jacksonville's housing development were clearly identified. Two of these findings directly inform this research effort.First, to meet the needs of Jacksonville's marginalized communities, an intentional focus on equity must stay at the forefront of community housing and development strategies. Second, if equity-focused development efforts are better aligned with health and/or educational stakeholders, affordable housing and equitable development could blossom in Jacksonville.Stable and affordable housing is essential to educational success and positive health outcomes for families and for communities. While the linkage between housing and educational and health outcomes is clear, educational and health stakeholders have not traditionally been deeply engaged in meeting housing need. Emerging initiatives across the country are countering this disengagement, demonstrating the important role that anchor institutions can play in supporting local housing needs. Community anchor institutions, such as educational entities (particularly higher education) and health care organizations can be powerful institutional resources to support equitable housing and community development. Throughout the nation, successful anchor institute-led housing interventions have been transformational in addressing community housing needs and community revitalization. These efforts have been most effective when equity goals are integrated into the design and implementation of anchor institute-led housing efforts.The following report provides select case studies with a strong social equity focus and comparability to Jacksonville. We identify lessons learned and summarize models which can be equally transformative in Jacksonville from these case studies. We also draw upon recent research and scholarship, and our own interviews with experts and practitioners. The goal of providing these lessons learned and model practices is to help inform, and potentially engage, various anchor institutes in Jacksonville -- organizations with resources that could help meet community housing needs and support equitable community development. This could help strengthen social, educational, economic and health outcomes for all of Jacksonville, including its most vulnerable residents

Percepções e orientações de uma escola pública de Florianópolis a respeito do sobrepeso e obesidade infantil

TCC (Graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - Centro de Desportos - Educação Física - Licenciatura.Esta pesquisa tem como principal objetivo identificar e analisar a forma com que uma instituição escolar municipal de Florianópolis percebe e encaminha as questões ligadas ao sobrepeso e obesidade de seus estudantes. A justificativa é que, com o passar dos anos, houve um aumento do sobrepeso e obesidade infantil em todo o país e a escola tem um papel fundamental na prevenção. O tema foi escolhido a partir de experiência prévia do pesquisador realizada durante a atuação como estagiário de Educação Física, sendo realizada coleta de dados para cálculo do IMC de uma das turmas da escola, identificando-se um número elevado de crianças com sobrepeso e obesidade. Metodologicamente, esta é uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter qualitativo, sendo realizadas entrevistas com a Direção, Coordenação e Professores (Educação Física e Ciências). Foram consultadas as bases Medline e Scielo para obter a fundamentação teórica. A pesquisa foi organizada em cinco capítulos: i) Sobrepeso e Obesidade: a compreensão da Escola; ii) A Escola – Instituição, a importância da alimentação e da atividade física na escola; iii) O bullying na escola; iv) Intervenções para a conscientização para uma alimentação mais saudável e v) Conclusão. Neste último, aponta-se que a Escola trabalha com alimentação diferenciada de anos atrás, e busca conscientizar os estudantes para a melhoria nos seus hábitos alimentares, tanto na escola quanto fora dela. Conclui-se também que os dirigentes e professores tem a percepção do que é a obesidade, mas não conseguem identificar os alunos com sobrepeso, sendo necessária a ajuda do professor de educação física para realização de testes que permitam identificar e intervir para evitar a evolução desse quadro para a obesidade

YF-12 propulsion research program and results

The objectives and status of the propulsion program, along with the results acquired in the various technology areas, are discussed. The instrumentation requirements for and experience with flight testing the propulsion systems at high supersonic cruise are reported. Propulsion system performance differences between wind tunnel and flight are given. The effects of high frequency flow fluctuations (transients) on the stability of the propulsion system are described, and shock position control is evaluated

Inclusive and Equitable Neighborhood Revitalization on Columbus's Southside: A University and Community Partnership to Ensure Diversity and Inclusion in the Neighborhood's Renaissance

IMPACT. 1: In our first year, we engaged with over 400 Southside residents--from High School students to young mothers-- in order to identify and map assets within the community. Many of the assets that we gathered were places, people, and institutions that were able to draw the community together to build upon their shared resources. Here, we present the findings.OSU PARTNERS: The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race & EthnicityCOMMUNITY PARTNERS: Community Development for All People -Reverend John Edgar, Pastor & Executive Director -David Cofer, Managing DirePRIMARY CONTACT: Jason Reece ([email protected]); Jillian Olinger ([email protected]); Kip Holley kipholley ([email protected])The energy building on the Southside is palpable. Already, more than $20 million in housing redevelopment alone has occurred in the neighborhood. Investments in health, safety, and education have also occurred. With all of the redevelopment activity on the Southside, Kirwan and our partners began to ask some key questions: How can we ensure that everyone in the community benefits from these renewed investments? How can we do redevelopment in a way that bridges people from different walks of life together? And how can our organizations help in that effort? Our broad goal through all of this work is to support the creation of an opportunity-rich and diverse community in the Southside. Through the Office of Outreach and Engagement, the Kirwan Institute and Community Development for All People received a 2-year grant to look deeper at those questions through a series of activities centered around inclusive community planning and engagement. These activities include asset mapping, developing and leveraging existing "third places", and developing programming around food, children, and housing

Parvalbumin: calcium and magnesium buffering in the distal nephron

Parvalbumin (PV) is a classical member of the EF-hand protein superfamily that has been described as a Ca2+ buffer and Ca2+ transporter/shuttle protein and may also play an additional role in Mg2+ handling. PV is exclusively expressed in the early part of the distal convoluted tubule in the human and mouse kidneys. Recent studies in Pvalb knockout mice revealed a role of PV in the distal handling of electrolytes: the lack of PV was associated with a mild salt-losing phenotype with secondary aldosteronism, salt craving and stronger bones compared with controls. A link between the Ca2+-buffering capacity of PV and the expression of the thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl− cotransporter was established, which could be relevant to the regulation of sodium transport in the distal nephron. Variants in the PVALB gene that encodes PV have been described, but their relevance to kidney function has not been established. PV is also considered a reliable marker of chromophobe carcinoma and oncocytoma, two neoplasms deriving from the distal nephron. The putative role of PV in tumour genesis remains to be investigate
